Without interruption: Conclude by breaking a chicken into 8 pieces without any disturbing interruptions from the narrator. [1:39]

Nowadays, it’s not uncommon for people to buy chickens all cut up rather than whole. The reason I generally hear is that “It is too difficult to cut-up a chicken.” Poppycock! It’s quite simple (if you know how). With a little practice, you can learn to do all the various chicken cuts, and maximize the quality of the results. It will be slow in the beginning, but once you learn the principles, speed will follow. (And you’ll have lots of bones for stock.)
